Good luck with that. I chose the Elephone over thl.. I had so much trouble with it that I ended up ordering the 5000. Read P2000 and other Elephone owner forums... I don't think you want to lose your money on that brand.

Is there a reason why isn't possible to have a normal android development on these chinese phones mostly based on mediatek? I'm a flashaolic and I'm afraid that buying this phone I'll end up stuck with the Android version present out of the box. Maybe it's due to lack of sources? Chineses don't release sources? What's the problem?

N00B............

I got 31,548 on mine.

[

R00TED, SU, BBox, Terminal, system/app/mover, adbd Insecure(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1687590), Root Explorer, MobileUncle Tools.

So this is just part of the list of apps I installed, the adbd Insecure is needed if

you wish to use 'Android Commander' (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=597098), which is an extremely useful tool for moving files.

So, this is ONLY my 2nd phone I'm customizing.

I'm asking for some guidance with:

TWRP or CWM

Recovery, ether stock, or as my phone is config at this moment.

So could someone chime in and give me a hand with the next 2 steps, unfortunately i WAS in an allmost bricked

position when it came to flashing the TWRP..........

HELP?

I hear Elephone has quality issues, serious ones, even more than THL. I toll am hoping for that phone to come out good tough. If Meizu MX4 had a bigger batery, wouldn't even think twice :/

TWRP is recommend for this phone. Just go to needrom, there's TWRP 2.8.1 there and instructions in czech you can translate. Don't forget that in Flashtools you click Download and only AFTER that you connect the phone to the computer. The phone must me off.

I installed 30GB of music on the card direct from the PC, the phone did not recognize the mSD Card.

Then I let the phone format the card, everything worked fine, the reinstall of the music files went smoothly.

Low Performance

Hey guys,

i bought this phone and tried a few games... most of them run fine but the newer are choppy... I know that the GPU is not the most powerful actually it is pretty old but everywhere is written that it can handle even Modern Combat 5 which is mostly unplayable for me... is it just my problem or is it caused by older hardware? Dead Trigger maxed out is on the edge of playability too... Anyone tested this GPU?

+ camera photos seem to be oversharpened... tried different apps (like A better camera and Camera FV-5) but the result is not much better... My old Optimus 2x shots better and more detailed photos then this.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
The camera app that comes with most phones suck, I use procapture, i find it serves me good.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Mchael, you have to click on recovery > location space, then a file chooser will pop. You shoud follow the howto in the czech forum. If i'm not mistake the dropdown box should say "Download Only".

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

You should click the column Location on the Recovery line, on the right of your red square.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mchael T.:
Do you meen like this?

I checked the RECOVERY box.

Moved over to the LOCATION (same line).

Double clicked LOCATION then, browsed to the location of the file 'ThL-5000-16P128_TWRP_2.8.1.0_KK' recovery.

Does the folder have to be unziped, or is zipped ok?

I have the newest update V1.1.1 / Tue Dec 2 11:49:07

Is this TWRP going to cause problems with my ROM?, It was developed for V1.1.0.

Does this now sound correct,,,,,,,seriously, I don't want to semi brick my Christmas present, my spouse will kill me.

Guys a couple of questions. My thl 5000 gets very easily overheated.

It even deactivated itself 3 times this morning. Do. I have to do something like changing cpu governor and how am I supposed to do that?
[Device Reviews and Information] trueno92:
What apps are you using that causes the thermal warning?

did you get the warning before it deactivated itself?
[Device Reviews and Information] koolxs:
Yes half a minute after the warning it went off.

I had the data "on" and I was using Tapatalk and "myMail" in turns, some browsing too.

It is strange because I did not have such issues with the Quad-cored Cubot S208. Brilliant phone except from camera and battery.
[Device Reviews and Information] trueno92:
go to the apps and see what other apps are running in the background?

does it happen every time you try these apps together?

x-posting some screen caps I took of benchmarks

With Power Save mode enabled:

total screen on was 6 hrs but

camera was used for 23 minutes,

~10mins won a few races in Asphalt 8,

Tweaking a magisto movie 13x and uploading ~1gig of movie data

and the bulk of the 5 hrs was web browsing/whatsapping..
[Device Reviews and Information] koolxs:

Should I install the new ROM ota? I just got the notification

[Device Reviews and Information] trueno92:
has anyone been able to sleep wifi?

my wifi is always on, even if i say, never stay on, in advanced wifi settings.

Maybe it 's a faulty device. In all fora I looked in, there was none that reported such an issue.

I did not do anything different than I did with my quad core phone.

With the old one I could use the phone for hours consecutively until it went off for battery, it would go warm but not too hot for cooking! Lol.

[Device Reviews and Information] stingrey123:
The stock ROM has inverted SD cards... There are 3 storage locations: internal SD - app storage, data storage and external SD as external storage... This phone swaps data and external storage so you can use external SD to save app data to theoretically bigger memory... It does it automatically when u insert SD card into the phone... Problem is that it efficiently locks the internal SD storage and you can use it max for saving songs, photos or similar content manually moved there.

Push notifications don’t work with a lot of apps like gmail, yahoo mail, whatsapp, telegram, viber… I tried push notifications fixer but it don’t have an effect. The problem persists. I think i made somenthing wrong and i reinstall the rom and after that i installed one by one telegram, whatsapp, viber… and test them but it is the same issue with messages for that apps. Maybe is an issue with gcm or classic rom v3 have inside a bad task killer? If i clean recent apps i don’t receive any messages. With wifi on, screen on and apps running a lot on recent apps i receive sometimes but with a huge delay. With 3g connection on is worse. No push messages anymore.

What I saw in settings->apps->running tab:

when whatsapp or telegram running in background and is on recent apps have 12mb and 19mb.

When whatsapp or telegram has been removed from recent apps have 0.00 b and 0.00 b.

I think is somenthing which kill the processes when remove tasks from recent apps and the applications can!’t receive notifications.

That’t really bad. Thl snoring quietly.

Now i set resistent and insistent notifications with xposed app settings and i will make some tests but with 3g connection on i don't receive push notifications.

Those who don't, are actually the spammers, putting garbage here when he could be avoided by doing basic homework.

Anyway i understand your frustration, seriously, try another driver. I too had to install different drivers. If i'm not mistake the package on needroom or the czech site, don't have all the drivers needed. In my case i installed the pdaNET drivers additionally to the ones that came already with the package. It sucks that most info are in russian or czech, use google translator.
