2. STOCK ROM & NVRAM BACKUP

It is highly recommended to make a backup just in case things go wrong.

An NVRAM backup is needed in case you lose your imei, something which Mediatek based phones are notorious for.

3. RECOVERY

[youtube]u8aaL5qB82M[/youtube]

[youtube]KT0-Imt0KH4[/youtube]

I have prepared and tested the following recoveries:

Carliv_Touch_Recovery_6.0.4.4 (recommended)

CWM_recovery_5.5.0.4.zip (made from stock boot rom)

Stock_recovery.zip (the thing which came preloaded on your phone. Haven't used it so don't know what it does. For warranty purpose ;))

Extract and copy the recovery.img of your choice here to your sdcard/internal storage

Install mobile uncle tool. Take an IMEI backup for future purposes.

From the Recovery Update option, select and install the recovery.img you want to flash and reboot to recovery.

Alternate method:

Repartition

Be sure to backup all your data before doing this as you may permanently lose it.

Instead of giving you the EBR files, here is a simpler method of getting a cool 6GB /DATA partition for installing all your apps and games on the internal storage by repartitioning and reducing the size of the internal sdcard.

Install the app below (needs root access to run)

http://d-h.st/0RI3

App Credit: anzhuo365.com

Select the desired size of your /DATA partition as depicted and commit it (may be tricky since the app is in Chinese)

Reboot into recovery and do a factory reset. You will have to format data and cache and/or reinstall recovery if it gets messed up. Additionally, you may need to reinstall your rom through cwm.

I have already used it on my phone and it is working perfectly.

As you can see in the screenshot above you will get 6GB internal data (6442 MB) and never again need to worry about moving apps to sdcard and they would load fast too. Also simplifies backups.

Thanks for your effort

freeradical,

Thanks for all the effort put into this device.

I am about to buy this phone in the next 1-2 days, and it is reassuring that this phone has a following in the XDA forums.

I will be eagerly following your progress and implement your tutorials.

May I request you to add a brief (or in depth if you can) review of your personal experience ( I don't mean technical specs) with the phone in the 2 days you have used it ?

Thanks again ! :):good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Free Radical:
Its not even been 24 hours since I have had this phone. Haven't even peeled off the manufacturer's film with all the stupid logos from the screen. Hence, it is too early for me to comment.

However, I have had no issue as yet with the phone and it is working flawlessly.

Would have wanted a capacitive touch home button and the button backlighting is crappy. The display is a very bright and I have heard of people having battery issues but I haven't really used it much to really say with any certainty.

Yep, I have compared the scatters with the Mlais 69T and it only differs slightly in the partition sizes.

That is really great news. I am using Port of Color OS now in my Canvas 2 now. The screen lock other than swipe/slide does not work. Hence not sure about the Guest Mode too.

A WARNING

The Screen of the iBerry Auxus Nuclea N2 Appears VERY Fragile.

**********************************************

The Phone Gets Crazy Hot :( :mad:

**********************************************

Battery Drain Is REALLY BAD.. Have To Charge Twice Per Day..... OR Keep The Phone Connected

**********************************************

Overall VERY Disappointing
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Free Radical:
Sad to hear that.

Battery drain is indeed high. To reduce it somewhat, here are some general pointers which have helped me get the best out of my phone:

Max battery drain I observed is with the WiFi on. I think the antenna has a good amount of gain (I get very good reception) but it also drains battery very fast.

Mobile data however is easier on the battery. If you are downloading a big game or something on WiFi, better to keep the phone connected to the charger.

Reduce brightness to 40%. The display is quite bright as it is.

Use xposed /wsm tools to install DS Battery saver and put it in Slumberer mode i.e. phone goes to deep sleep as soon as screen is off. Also, enable fast charging.

Charge the phone using USB3 off the wall charger. It would charge up very fast (~3-4%/minute). So you are all good in 1 hour. With standard data cable, it charges at only ~1% a minute.

Use a firewall / MIUI Secuity app to restrict data usage by apps. Also prohibit apps from autosyncing

Use Titanium Backup to remove superfluous apps and services like Google Feedback Agent, MIUI game center and its service etc.

Overall, I am okay with twice a day charging. Being a heavy user, I have had to do that on all my previous phones too and I have access to charging at my workplace. However, a workaround would be to buy a portable powerbank or spare battery (costs Rs. 490 without discount off ebay. i am going to buy one too.)

The overheating is there but certainly not as high as my Xolo Play T1000 (Tegra 3 is crap :( ) or my overclocked Spice Mi-410 (you can probably warm your lunch with this). I for one am indeed happy with this phone as I took the decision after reading the battery issues. The instant GPS lock and gorgeous 5.7" 1080p display in a Note 3 like body is worth it for 16k imo :)

I would also add one more issue with the phone which no one has mentioned. The display has backlight bleed from the edges, especially if you are looking at it in the dark.

But thanks for the note of caution regarding the fragile screen. Would put on my Tempered Glass screen guard right now :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alap1983:
Where did u get the Tempered Glass Screen Guard?

It is VERY Important that whoever buys this device MUST Put it on to prevent Screen damage.

Battery issues resolved.

Dear All,

Now I am getting around 18-20 Hours of battery Backup. I did the following:-

Completed 5 cycles of battery usage [From 0 to 100 and from 100 to 0] It would be easy for our device though !:silly:

Charged to 100 % and Calibrared using the Battery calibration app

Installed Advanced Task Killer App

Set the Network to 2G only - as I rarely use 3G. Please note this is needed even if you do not use 3G too. The Signal band of 3G eats up the battery. To do this Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > 3G service > Enable 3G > Off.

Try this and let me know:highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Free Radical:
Try DS battery saver module for xposed/WSM tools. Give it device administrator privileges and put it in slumberer mode. It will certainly add a couple of hours of battery life.

I got a boot loop when I installed xposed... :banghead: I had to factory reset from the recovery... I have not flashed the custom recovery yet.

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Hey, can you please update a step by step instruction on flashing the custom Recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alap1983:
Seriously?

Flashing A Custom Recovery is The SIMPLEST Task.

Download Any Of The Two Recoveries That The OP has uploaded & extract the .img file from the Zip / Rar

Thereafter, rename the file to recovery.img (Be careful not to rename it as : recovery.img.img).

Put this file in the root of the SD Card.. Root meaning: Not in any folder. Just drag & drop on the SD Card & it will get copied.

Now download & install Mobile Uncle Tools & Give it Root permission when asked.

In the tool... Select Recovery Update & Choose the FIRST recovery on Local Drive. Do not choose anything else.

The Tool will Flash the Custom Recovery & ask if you want to enter the same. Select Yes & you will be rebooted to CWM.

The CWM is great... But The Fonts are TOO Small. Use Carliv
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Free Radical:
Guys. I am getting really good battery life now after using Deep Sleep Battery Saver. Better than my Xolo Play T1000's 2500 mAh battery!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hariks0:
xposed and Carliv recovery.

Dear All,

I encountered bootloop after installing the xposed framework. The xposed installer itself warned me that the device may have severe issues if xposed is installed. [Touch that warning message to open the xd thread regarding the bug.] It also creates an uninstall.zip in the memory card. As I had a backup in Carliv Touch Recovery, I decided to go ahead. Alas, the mobile would not move past the boot logo. I decided to flash the uninstall.zip from the Carliv recovery. But how can I go back to the recovery in the first place? I had to remove the battery and restart the mobile to recovery. Here I found out 3 things:

1. Power+VolumeUp+VolumeDown : It takes us to a CHINESE recovery and the characters can be deciphered only by Sherlock Holmes.

2. Power+VolumeUp : Takes us directly to the hardware testing screen again in CHINESE.

3. Power+VolumeDown : Voila ! Carliv Recovery appeared

But the uninstall.zip for xposed was nowhere to be seen :crying:. After searching for a while I decided to do a full system restore. Now it is back to life, so am I.

Hope this helps somebody... Cheers !

[CHINAPHONEARENA update] says THL T100S ROMs work on MX 69T PRO & H9008

Which should mean they work on Nuclea N2 also right. The thread says we have to replace the system.img file in the ROM for H9008 / MX 69T Pro with the system.img file from the T100S ROMS

I checked online and there are so many ROMs for T100S. The only problem is that they are all in CWM flashable format and not SP Tools Flashable format.

Is there any way I can convert a CWM zip to SP Flash tools version?

That would mean we'd have more choice among ROMs, there's even a CM11 port.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Update:

Replaced the system.img file in flash tools version of MX 69T Pro firmware with LeWa system.img from THL 100S and flashed. Flash was successful, although it's stuck in boot loop.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Free Radical:
This phone has good build quality! I am in awe of its signal reception and gps.

Sorry about the Play T1000. Guess you ended up at the wrong end of the Xolo spectrum. I think it's phone specific. Q800 was an absolute dream. Unbrickable, that too. It finally died a death by drowning :(

I read the lk.bin had to be replaced in the firmware, could that be the problem? could that have caused the boot loop? or will i have to do more hard work and read more and find out? :D

Lemme know if you want.

Applied the Tempered Glass screen guard today which I had bought a while back. It was originally made for the Note 3 but fits good enough. Slightly smaller but that's expected.

Its better and cheaper than the crap which Auxus peddles on ebay.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rohithdivakaran:
Note 3 accessories

I am using the matte screen guard for note 3. fits just fine.

Cases don't fit because the size of this phone is about 2 mm larger than the note.

Free Radical, bro, if someone can get the THL T100S ROMs adapted for this phone, there's a whole gold mine of ROMs out there (aka CM 11)

There's a Galaxy Note 3 ROM on needROM for the H9008 which sort of supports xposed installer. all you need to do is deodex using lucky patcher, go to system/framework and delete all .jex files, go back to lucky patcher and deodex it again, you'll see the option in the toolbox (i dont know if the first deodexing is required, but this works)

Supports gravitybox. Occassional reboot might happen though.

So, point is, can someone look into getting the THL T100S modified for this, because apaprently only the partition sizes differ (16 gb on the nuclea. 32 on theT100S)

:eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Free Radical:
I have already used those Note 3 and Galaxy S5 roms :P

All roms from T100S work after some proprietary files are changed.

Didn't care to deodex them or test for any length of time though.

Haven't tested xposed on any rom since I use wsm tools on MIUI and it works perfectly for me.

Will upload some of this stuff this weekend.
