I have a Luftco AOneX that came with 4.4.2

My PS was working with Miui v5 and also was working with the stock rom. And it is working on the test program you wrote. It just don't work with the phone app and other programs that use it, like some light meters. My guess is that I have to change some setting on the build prop file, but I don't know what line is.

My camera is the same version as yours.

According to my system, I'm working with ART.

I don't know why my PS is not working, but I need it because I use it to power on the screen. The power button in this models is a PITA to use and locate. I'm using an app named tap tap off and a simple double tap on the sensor powers the screen on.

new biscuit team 4.4.2 rom (rooted w/ su)

http://www.luftco.cn/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=43303&extra=page=1

based on 7/7 release

I just found that my PS is working, i was testing it with the speaker and thats why wasn't working, but without it works fine. Maybe in yours is something else, maybe an app, I will try the app that you use to turn on the screen.

Now that I restored my backup from stock Rom, I can assure that in mlais the touch is more responsive.

[MENTION=218353]mac[/MENTION]: anything new in the changelog? I will check out later.

Edit: a quick glance at the features, looks interesting, I will download this weekend to have something to play with :))

Joining the club

I ordered a PS7 from Geekbuying a couple of days ago. Really looking forward testing it out, it seems to be a nice device!

Just noticed there are no 900 MHz 3g support in specs (just 850), can anyone confirm this?

I also hoped to get some advice on roms, but it seems like there are no clear "winner" ATM :)

Just a thought, shouldn't this thread be renamed so that more owners find it? :)
[Android General] Axelman8:
Hi

This device HAS 3g hsdpa support. Works flawlesly here in Holland

Just my opinion: keep the origional ROM and root it and flash a recovery. Install exposed framework "GravityBox " and the "app settings" module and this device will be at its best.

Battery lasts 2days with full use /abuse ;)

Good luck with the device dude, its a very good one

Regards

[Android General] ress_:
Sounds great mate, thanks for your reply! I'll follow your advice (can't believe I've missed Gravitybox until now!). Did you use vroot?
[Android General] marsian0:
Installed, all set up, very smooth, seems better than mlais, more memory free, but too soon to make conclusions. Need a couple of days to test it well.

Hi, i used MTKDroidTools to root and create a recovery

Take this from my dropbox, it will work just fine

does the camera (work)? I installed it the other day but took it off because I wanted to look at something else. Someone on the biscuit board has apparently mentioned the same old camera issue on the early kitkat roms (that took care of finally in the 7/7 version) where only main camera works or maybe just front camera works..on early KK versions only the front camera would come on with no icon to switch to the main

if based on 7/7 think camera should work

"Front and rear camera can not switch the main camera driving wrong description"..from the board..maybe just a bad translation or my misinterpretation

curious ...does the cwm recovery made using mktdroid tools restore data properly? do not know if it had to with the sizes of my backups (2.5-3gb) but they would always fail when restoring the data portion (partial restore). So i have used the cwm touch carliv recovery (always has worked..maybe like over 30 restores)
[Android General] Axelman8:
Hi

I have never made an partial restore, just full Backup and full restore and this work okay

I had carlive on another device, and must say that the touch recovery works very good.

Anyway, i wanted root and a recovery and the mtkdroidtools worked, so didnt bother to flash carliv

[Android General] marsian0:
The Rom comes with firmware for ov13850 camera, and there is a patch for previuos devices with ov12830 camera. I installed in bot devices ( mine and my wife that have the old version), works fine in both.

If yours have old camera just flash the Rom, then flash the patch for that version in recovery. It replaces the uboot aka lk.bin
[Android General] mac231us:
Remove uuplay from KK system app..apparently a trojan?

thanks...no i did not mean partial restore..what i meant is that when doing a full restore, the mkdroid tools cwm does a partial restore (comes with an error in the middle of restoring data...and when rebooting (the partially restored nandroid still boots, i found not all apps were restored)

anyway checked the 7/7 and camera works..now checking biscuit 8/22 (mlais seemed good but hard time getting apn to work..weird)..got it to root by vroot took the longest time but maybe because of partition difference, the cwm touch would not work ..errors when trying to restore or backup, so not using mlais again.

EDIT: Camera works on 8-22 biscuit so not sure what the poster meant on the luftco biscuit rom 822 board

EDIT2: Cwm carliv touch will not work properly on the mlais or the 8/22 biscuit rom version of the 7/7 lutfco rom..however it works on original 7/7 luftco rom

EDIt3: all these KK roms since May have the uuplay in the system app...delete it (need root which is built in the 8/22 biscuit rom)...apparently a trojan per some board/blog had seen some time back (it keeps making its way into every KK version for this device..not for JB though)
[Android General] Axelman8:
Oh yeah, one more thing

I use this launcher:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678957

I freesed the origional launcher with Titanium backup, evenso i freesed some chinese crapp i didn't need :D

Anyone want to share his 4.4.2 experience in relation to the 4.2.2 what is the diffrence and is it worth it to upgrade?

Thnx in advance

Regards

Axelman
[Android General] marsian0:
It is safe to delete those chinese apps, it´s the first thing i do.

Regarding jb or kitkat, in my case, i do prefer JB, but there is no updated roms since April. I am in KK because i think that the firmware is optimized in the touch área. I miss Gravity Box, cause in kk many features don't work, altough the developer promises that will support MTK devices in KK versión soon, i hope so.

No big differences between this 2 versions of android, in my opinion.

If you are fine with how your current rom in JB performs, i don't see the point to upgrade.
[Android General] estuardo4:
The only reason I can think of is the same reason many of us change ROMs as soon as they are available: to be entertained and to test new features. See if the developer changed or corrected mistakes and to be on the cutting edge.

I don't think there are other reasons [emoji3]

But one thing is sure, I won't be returning to JB. Not because JB is worse than KK, but because changing from 4.2.2 to 4.4.x and return, you always leave something behind that will hurt you in the future. It is a PITA. I had problems with other phones, I've been having problems with this one.

Let's hope that the developers can bring us ColorOS, miui, or even CM11 based on 4.4.2
[Android General] marsian0:
in short yeah, we are freaking flashaholics... :D

me, i've been doing it for years jejeje
[Android General] estuardo4:
With the popularity of Chinese phones everywhere, I'm hoping that everyday we'll have more and more developers cooking roms for our devices.

The problem that I see is that with the prices so low for phones with flagship specs, it will be easier to buy new models with better specs sooner than before (at least in my case). That will give little time for developers to begin working on certain devices before they become unpopular.

On the other hand, one of the pros is that it will be easier for the community to donate these phones to developers so they can begin working their magic.

Let's see how this pans out. It will be interesting.
[Android General] mac231us:
still sticking with the color version 1 (understand to each his own) that is basically jb...moving to jb from kk need clean flash again of base april jb rom..no issues there after restoring nandroid backup (re-flash is for cwm touch to run properly)..somehow am having issues with signal pickup..takes the longest time on bootup with the kk versions (latest both biscuit 822 and the 7/7 luftco..and ebay stiil crashes on both as on all kk when clicking on any item for details/description etc)..miui latest version is another jb favorite of mine..that being said thinking of going to another device soon (the frequencies/bands are not best for my carrier and coverage needed...not talking lte etc but just basic calling..too many issues with dropped calls or just not picking signals...voice going in and out because of signal strength...a band or two added would have fixed it all but hardware limitation)..been a great device otherwise
[Android General] estuardo4:
It is a shame that you are thinking of changing phones, but I guess the same will occur to the rest of us, as soon as the announced Mediatek models with LTE support are available and affordable. That's why I wrote that it is a blessing having affordable flagship phones, but at the same time, as soon as some steam is building on a certain model, a new one will arrive, sooner than what we are used to.

If you can tell us what model you have your eyes locked on, please let us know.

Got my PS7

Got my tablet from geekbuying, DHL shipping is resonably priced and quick as always. It was also well packed.

First impressions after around 3 hours use:

- The screen is amazing. Crisp, clear and very good brightness. No light bleed. Easily utperforms the S4 screen.

- The screen protector is terrible. I had to get rid of it.

- Touch responsiveness is not as good as i hoped. I think it's something that you'll get used to, but the S4 is much better in this aspect.

- OEM Rom is good. Not bloated at all and makes the PS7 quite snappy.

- Wireless monitor isn't working though, I hope a firmware update is on the way.

- The touch buttons (menu, home, return) does not lit up. I don't know why, and it's quite annoying. Any suggestions?

- Build quality is actually really nice. The trim around the phone looks great and hardware buttons have a good feel to them. The back cover got a quite cheap feel to it but looks OK when it's mounted.

- I love the thin bezels. You could actually use this device as a phone if you have a headset! Sure it's big, but if you want your tablet on you anyways, why carry a phone too?

- Speaker is OK, on par with my S4.

- My biggest concern is the connectivity, which is very "Mediateky". It picks up a signal and works on 2G, but 3G is glitchy. I'm OK with the fact that it doesn't get 3G reception all the time, but the switch between 2G and 3G is very awkward. My PS7 lose BOTH 2G and 3G connection for about 10 seconds when 3G reception is lost. My guess is that this will end a ongoing call which was the case with my old phone, a ZP980. I really hoped this was fixed but I guess not :(

Next up is root and Gravitybox on Axelman8's advice. I really hope there are a fix for the connectivity issues. Otherwise I'll might try to put my regular SIM in the 2G slot and get a extra Surf-SIM (a doublet on my regular SIM that can't make calls, just access 3G). It cost around $10 a month, but is well worth it since I can't accept a phone that turn down calls etc. Any other advice?
[Android General] Axelman8:
Nice review m8

You need to tweak some to make this device at its best.

Hardwarebuttons: doesnt have a light, so will never lite up

Screen touch: edit the touch responsiveness after you have root acces.

Xposed mod: allso install XuiMod module, you will love it

For snappyness and battery savings i use TricksterMod pro to handle my device

See my processor usage with this mod

Apps:

A.I type keyboard pro instead of the default (swipe enabled)

Poweramp pro for music

Blackmart : for testing payd apps (you get it)

Titanium backup pro: MustHave!

Launcher: i use Sicksky launcher and freesed the default chinese crap launcher. I use the swipe panels left, right, under and top. Absolutely amayzing launcher.

I use the double tapp to enter the phone. Really fast calling or searching contacts

I make phonecalls with the phablet against my head. Great for a laugh, but i don't give a sh*t, i love this device and its worth every dime.

Yellow/orange smartcover: i spraypainted it black! Mutch better ;)

Goodluck dude

thanks..my biggest complaint too...will try out samsung t705 8.4 soon..expecting it tomorrow...i know looks even more ridiculous ha ha but has all frequencies..this would be an awesome device otherwise..thinking the early kk versions handled the bands better but maybe just my imagination-will try them again in next couple of days
[Android General] ress_:
You really are the man! Thanks for the tips, can't wait to test it out. The device feels really promising, but so far we have a love/hate relationship... But I'm sure we can work it out :)

Glad to hear that you have no connectivity issues, I guess Holland has a better network coverage than northern Sweden hehe. I've already contacted my provider to get a extra SIM, I hope that works!

Sorry to hear that mate. Have you tried to use the 2G SIM slot? Or turn off data connection? I'll get back with results using a dedicated SIM for 3G and another 2G one for calls.

That Samsung looks like a great device! :) I'm sure you'll be happy with it, however I understand it's a pity to have to buy another device...
[Android General] estuardo4:
I need my phone to be pocketable. My Luftco barely fit my large pants' pockets. I guess you will carry this Samsung as if you were carrying a tablet.

BTW, Im using Sony SBH52 Headset/handset model. I believe it is a necesary accesory for this big screen phones. You can talk directly using this small devise, excluding you of public shame for using such enormous gadget on your ear. :)

And no, I haven't noticed any problem with my signal. I guess I'm just lucky.
[Android General] mac231us:
actually I have that Sony headset..yet to open package bought it when I got the Ultra Z..maybe this time I will have to use it..yes the Samsung is a bit too wide for pant pockets...as are all the 7.85 phones as well as they tend to get wider more than taller

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

yes have used 2G (only) with more success (still can drop off and takes time to come back on..today I had to switch to 2g/3g and only then it came back..only when using data i switch to 3g (if available)...am on ATT in USA

gravity's volume rocker wake is a hit and miss per my experience when messing w the earlier kk roms back in may/june ..xui mod has the more reliable rocker wake function..xblast is good too..unfortunately even w/ deodexing many features do not work like changing background for notifications etc. maybe they are working better now.

thanks axelman..will try sicksky launcher

One question and to board in general..is there a 4.4.3 rom for this device? see mentions of 4.4.3 elsewhere and maybe here somewhere but all I have seen are 4.4.2 roms...wondering..even the mlais was a 4.4.2 per the needrom site

Root

Just my quick root guide if anyone is having USB drivers issues like I did. :)

No matter what I tried (USBdeview, signed drivers disabled, several different MTK USB drivers) W7 just installed "YunOS ACB Interface" drivers. I suspect that's because I've had my ZP980 connected to the same computer, but I'm not sure. Anyhow, I couldn't root using MTK Droid Root & Tools v.2.5.3 with these drivers. So this is how I did it:

1. Root using framaroot following deadhp1's excellent guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52320638&postcount=3 I got 1.9.3 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37508806&postcount=1

2. Reboot.

3. Connect phone to PC using the automatically installed YunOS drivers (debugging enabled ofc).

4. Bakup via MTK Droid Tools. I had to grant SuperSU access on my phone.

Now the tweaking begins... :good:
[Android General] mac231us:
framaroot was working only on jb versions at least until recently..the latest framaroot which is actually unchanged for 2 months or more now..kk versions needed vroot. biscuit 8/22 kk already has root (based off 7/7 luftco kk)

yes am confused myself on that yunacb as that is what i got way back in june when first set it up after receiving device..as think on subsequent attempts (had new hard disk installed so had to do process again) it looks there is a driver with a different name now

EDIT must say 8/22 biscuit is superfast

One question and to board in general..is there a 4.4.3 rom for this device? see mentions of 4.4.3 elsewhere and maybe here somewhere but all I have seen are 4.4.2 roms...wondering..even the mlais was a 4.4.2 per the needrom site

thanks[/QUOTE]

Actually Mlais one is 4.4.3 even if on needrom is listed as 4.4.2

I'm having some issues with the way I flashed biscuits rom, as I installed mlais 4.4. 3 and then flashed biscuits 4.4.2 zip. What I will do is to flash luftco 4.4.2 and then flash 4.4.3 zip from biscuits. I guess some file or files from 4.4.3 are messing with my phone.

But Mac is right, this zip from biscuits is really fast.
[Android General] marsian0:
have you ever tried Sidecontrol App?

For me is really Handy, because you can position the touch points to anywhere on sides of the screen, and define actions like tap, doublé tap, short slide, long slide, etc. Combined with xposed installer, i put it on both sides of the screen in the middle, and one tap is the back key, doublé tap goes to homescreen, short slide to turn off the screen, almost permits one hand operation, which is not easy with the size of this device.

I can't attach screenshot.
[Android General] marsian0:
i've seen that the signal in the first sim slot is very unstable, whereas the second slot seems more steady. I use sims from two carriers, so i have to check out switching sims to discard that the problema is the carrier signal, but i have to trim one sim and use an adapter for the other, i will do it in the weekend if i have time. The second slot is the one that i use for voice and data, maybe is that the reason that i don´t have droped calls.

This behaviour is present in all KK roms that i have tried (stock, mlais, biscuit). I don´t know in the last 4.2.2 from April 28, cause i installed but my rear camera didn't work, so i removed right away.
[Android General] mac231us:
Well I ended up not going for the tab s 8.4...saw a cousin of it in the store and just found it too big...should have done my homework better...if they/someone did a Sharp Sh-06f type 83.5% screen to body ration then maybe a 7.85 or even 8 screen may become manageable..so for now am with this device..and as it would have to happen suddenly discovered stability in 2g ONLY signal with 4.4.2 rom ONLY...not with any Jb versions....however in the 822 4.2.2 by biscuit prerooted w. SU noticed same issue i reported few times back in may/june when trying to flash cwm su myself..that in root explorer cannot see any sdcard0/1 files..empty..but can see system, data etc files and do read/write switch. when rooting like the luftco 4.4.2 w/ vroot no such issues..any flashing of cwm su always breaks root and sdcard for root explorer at least and if trying to copy from sdcard to data/data for example using other root enabled browsers somehow run into errors...besides that restoring data for apps from backups like mybackup root/pro does not work in these su-rooted KK roms (at least for me on so many occasions with 5/26, 5/27, 6/6 etc roms)

EDIT these root explorer issues could be because I replaced the Chinese root explorer with my own copy (former is a system app)...but I could not guess through the menus of the Chinese root explorer anyway. Maybe will try the luftco 7/7 and do rooting etc with vroot...

EDIT despite so many posts here think this will still be one of those K900 Lenovo type boards...never becoming a real forum...that said, the k920 is one great looking device..but bands are not good enough though k900 did ok in the usa (had a few dropped calls..that switching stuff but not so unstable like this device)
[Android General] mac231us:
Other XPOSED modules (some nice to have maybe for some, some pretty nifty)

xutilities..i confused this with xuid when replied to axelman other day trying to recall from memory...xutilities has the volume rocker wake (which may already be in gravity), and has action bar mod where you can move the action bar to the bottom and do it per app (or all apps)-set it for some as the keyboard otherwise covers the bar in some apps like playstore etc (useful mod for such a large device where it is difficult to reach always to the top of the screen for input)..also has mod brightness etc (but also on gravity)

other modules

xxsid

xdual status clock

xtstana

app settings (can change dpi per app)

email-kill attachment limits (just trying this out now..rest above have used many times before with various kk (and even the first luftco jb) roms and success over extensive period of time..so they work)

i use buzz launcher not fastest but like the variety..regardless in dock i have 4 buttons. one set up for pulling down notification, another pulling down status bar, another pulling up power menu and another to lock the screen (all referring to gravity functions-had this when using older kk so it is very handy so do not have to reach always to top to swipe down-no swiping pulling down)
