Skype/video calling Front Camera.

Skype or video calling using the front camera.

The picture is absolutely crap, its so dark its almost illegible going from the THL outbound.

Not just phone to phone, its phone to PC as well, the Huawei has the THL beet hands down.

I have my buddy's phone(installing KK), its a Huawei 3X G750 T00 and the performance of his camera is absolutely 10x better than he one in this phone.

The front camera is sharp, bright, well colour balanced.

In comparison to the Hauwei, the THL should have the same front camera brand (SONY), although the THL is 1080p and the Hawei is 720p.

There is only a slight difference in the back camera's, their both SONY, ones f/2.2(Hauwei), the other is f/2.0(THL), giving the THL a slightly larger aperture for low light conditions(back camera).

I posted the HwCamers apk earlier and was wondering if someone could look at it and possibly port it to the THL, hopefully it will make a great difference in what we're expecting from the camera's on this phone.

It's normal for the phone to heat up when playing games and no it won't damage your phone. I've played mc5 for over 2hrs at a stretch but nothing happened except the phone getting hot

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Maybe it's software optimization or some other stuff. I use Huawei Ascend mate 7 now which has supposedly the same Sony camera with this phone but I must confess the camera on the Mate 7 beats that of the thl hands down in all Conditions

New official software release

My phone just picked up an alert for a new OTA software version:

thl.5000.007D.20141223.KK.FHD.EN.COM.16P128_MT6592T_V1.1.2

Is anyone here running this yet? Is it worth it? I guess I'll have to re-root after the update - did you have any problems there?

Cheers!
[Device Reviews and Information] enzobelmont:
updating... wait for my report.
[Device Reviews and Information] aamarsh:
I updated this morning. No noticeable changes. Does THL have a changelog anywhere for these small updates that anyone knows of?
[Device Reviews and Information] Sonic1SVK:

I see bug report from MIUI V6 from Note 3G has lots of bugs. See here http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=bugfeedback&fid=5&phonemodel=52&stamp=&con=&pid=0&typeid=0&page=1 I have writen to Prince.Paul.K from MIUI porting team and Beta tester. I think has no free time. But i send him message to QQ. Tomorow again :)

@ sansanc None.
[Device Reviews and Information] bryangb:
It has unrooted my phone as I suspected it would. It's also restored the grotty standard recovery, which is even more annoying. And of course I've left my Windows laptop (with the rooting app on it) at the office. Sigh! :(

[edit] And now I find iRoot can't root this version yet.

Did you manage to re-root after the OTA update, and if so, how?
[Device Reviews and Information] zeporisto:
yes. It has unrooted. :(

[Device Reviews and Information] enzobelmont:
try to install a fresh copy from needrom
[Device Reviews and Information] Sonic1SVK:
Press Power button and manualy update. Flash .zip
[Device Reviews and Information] Mchael T.:
Updates.......Geeesh here we go again.......

I'm on v1.1.1 and am watching closely the results of the OTA up. I hope there will be a better solution than the OTA as the up is not r00table from what I have read.

There is one other option from what I've read, the zip flash from TWRP.

My question about the update zip (http://www.needrom.com/download/stock-rom-1-1-2/)is:

Does it leave all your rooting tools in place or do you have to reinstall SuperSU, BB, adb insecure and the others?

Now I'm really glad I unchecked the option to auto DL and Update.....
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
Gore.

Again, as with 1.1.1 patch, it fails to install. I must have removed something from my rom that the script is looking for...

I heard that there is nothing new in the system, that it is all in other parts of the Rom, so, would it be possible to flash only the related partitions and keep my existing system partition?

Is there any way to find out what is causing the patch to fail?

Edit: never mind, I flashed the Stock 1.1.2 from Needrom, it is also already rooted, which save me some time.
[Device Reviews and Information] bryangb:
Rerooted - phew!!

I just managed to reroot after the OTA....

I flashed the TWRP 2.8.2 recovery from Needrom - to get this to work I had to update to the newer v5.1352 release of Flash Tool (from http://androidxda.com/smart-phone-flash-tool), it flashed OK - you have start download, connect the switched-off phone then press the reset button behind SIM2.

Then I could restart in Recovery and install Superuser.zip, reboot again, and it picked up where it had been before. Phew!!

I think it worked because the phone had already been rooted, so it just needed Superuser back. Give it a try and see if works for you.
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
Anyone knows why stock ROM 1.1.2 has been removed from Needrom.com?
[Device Reviews and Information] enzobelmont:
NO, is still there
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
I don't see it. It should be the first one since it is the last one posted on there. I can see only the 1.1.1.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
There are 2 there. http://www.needrom.com/category/thl/thl-5000/
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
That is funny, if you search THL-5000 you'll find it, but if you search THL 5000 those 2 don'T show up!

Thanks anyway!
[Device Reviews and Information] Bal0n3yZ:
I don't think there is a need to flash a new rom, or the 1.1.2-update. I just flashed the new kernel (downloaded from needrom) from TWRP :

Boot_v1.1.2.zip - latest kernel from original ROM 1.1.2. (naybe only for new displays)

I don't know if the 1.1.2. -update contains only a new kernel (?) but now I have kernel 3.4.67 (23-12-2014) on my old (BShuy2003) rom....

No troubles with lost root or anything.

How to ROOT?

You have to use this way:

- reset phone to factory settings (this is very important!!!)

- use latest VROOT (it will work, you will have chinese ROOT in your phone

- now download SuperSU from Google Play

- SuperSU will ask you, replace chinese ROOT application

- restart phone, you will have ROOT application in english

The vendor I used! They have great English communication and their processing time from payment to actually shipping the unit was much faster than other vendors (<2 days)

Let them know you read the review on the XDA forums and they will help you with marking the unit appropriately for shipping :good:.
[Device Reviews and Information] KeFe:
Try tinydeal with NL shipping. It should arrive in week to UK and they can declare 20USD for package value. But Netherland Post should be enough to avoid customs inspection. :good:

They send it with a 16GB microsd, flip case and tpu case, and if you use THL5000 coupon code you will get some useful gifts (power bank, stand, klick button) with the phone also.

My last order was shipped in 24h after payment.

How to restore .backup file

In English recovery mode i manage to create backup file, which i don't know how to restore.

The file is "userdata_20141214_123956.backup". I need to get out only pictures from this backup, but don't know how to do it. The only thing, which works is, to restore it again in recovery mode, but then i stuck, cause ROM is f*** up, as i wrote months ago on this forum.

Default android apps "Backup and restore" doesn't recognize it, even create similar file. Titanium program i didn't try, cause i'm not root.

Proximity Sensor Calibration

Proximity Sensor Calibration,,,,I have tried a whole bunch of different ways from other phones, but I cant stop my phone from face dialing.

Anyone know the proper way of calibrating this phone?

Is this an error, that the sensors are not installed or that the software/firmware/kernel did not have it included, left out by mistake or for some other reason?

Update v1.1.2?,,,,,Also, bad gamma on my screen, it should be 2.2, I have 1.8, maybe that's the update fix?

This is a wasting of your time. Is no open sources for MTK for V6. You can patrialy translate, use sources from REDMI 2. But some apps have complet different translation. I look on MIUI Germnany forum ,when come Stable rom from Note is no problem. I can decompile sorce ROM and copy RES to my multilangague. Or port DE ROm for Note to THL

Tomorow will be fist update patch for my ROm relased;

1. Fixed SU rights - now permission manager and Root managment full works . Same bug have miuipro.ru ROM

2. Fixed translating for Settings.apk Battery info

3. Changed BT name - build.prop

4. Replaced Cn version of app RingCaller with EN

5. Deleted not workings app

6. Replaced ThemeAuthorization from V5 to updated versiom for V6. Maybe? If works Need more testing

Patch relased. Look on http://www.needrom.com/download/miui-v6-6/
