Hi i just made this thread to make a base for everyone who bought this (form me) superb phone.

So far we got root, custom recovery, and many chinese roms (based on Nubia UI, Color OS, LEWA OS, FROG OS...).

There are Mokee AOSP 4.4.4. rom in develpoment and CM11 in development, CM12 also.

In my Google Drive there is also two custom recovery CWM and TWRP (thanx a lot to FAZERGOO from 4PDA.ru, here on XDA it is fazerg, so please thank him for his work)..the script in my root+recovery folder is updated, so you have option to flash CWM (6.0.5.1) or TWRP (2.8.0.0.)

here is list of commands you can dial in dialer and get some hidden menu and settings:

*#06# - displays IMEI

##36 - update server settings for OTA

*#*#4636#*#* - display phone information, battery information, battery history, usage statistics, WiFi information

*#406# - touch screen calibration

--proximity sensor calibration--

*#777# - no cover of proximity sensor

*#776# - cover proximity sensor with hand 2-5 cm above..so the bar is in the green

*# 405# - MHL test

to go to recovery you have to poweroff the phone and hold "vol+" and "power" for 2 sec

to go to safe mode....???
