Yes but i have to tell that inbetween the (sluggish) testing i had in on the Usb connection to shovel Screenshots to my pc and some other stuff but you can see the Charging cycles they where very short.

The Day i tested it i Used a bit Gps with Enhanced Location accuracy,short Gaming (exiles for Heavy 3D usage) And some playing around with sound etc.

Also Wifi Tethering all the time since i used it as Hotspot at home :)

Hi ofcourse i can tell,first you should install the Busybox app from Stericsson to update Busybox (just in case)

Also use the SuperSU app and best install it via the recovery you use (I use Twrp) http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip

For Xposed be sure you dont run the System with the Art runtime since Xposed doesnt supports it (and dalvik is just better for the Crown and its buggy rom)

And for Viper4android whew this was pretty difficult for me since i am not a Dev or anything haha :o

Here is how i got it working

I downloaded this Flashable zip here for the Nexus 5 on Lollipop

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57966835&postcount=1409

Choose the TestLolliViPER_v2.3.3.0.zip

Put it to your ExtSd or internal Sd card but also Extract it to your pc

Be sure to make a Nandroid Backup!!

Flash the zip and do a Cache/Dalvik cache wipe (Just to make it cleaner)

You can try if the App shows up in the Drawer and try if it already works.

(on my Crown the App didnt showed up and also not in the System apps) <---- If thats the case Take the V4a app out of the Unpacked Zip and place it on your Phone and install it from the Storage like any other apks,if it asks if you want to update the app just do it :D

And voila thats how it worked for me no problems with V4A :fingers-crossed:

I think its just a buildprop related thing why it doenst works the normal way but that zip solves it

Be sure to Thank the Dev on the Download thread ^_^

And ofcourse tell me if it worked

And some additional things to clean out the Crown a bit.

For Launcher problems you can Freeze the Stock launcher (just be sure your replacement launcher works without problems) And the stock AOSP Keyboard didnt allowed me to change to Swiftkey and i found out why,on my Crown a Permission/app activity was Disabled The Setup Activity checker or whatever it is xD

SOLVED

I installed first the previous version 20140924 via SD card, then upgraded by wifi to version 20141015 :)
[Android General] john crowley:
Hi,

New Member here.

I have a problem very similar to this. I got the very same message when I tried to install 20140924, how have you resolved this please?
[Android General] Krixtian69:
Hi,

I have this mobile and I can some problems with the screen. The area down-right doesnt work well.

Is there any solution to this problem?
[Android General] aerobomb:
someone said that heating your phone at the lower part of the screen minimized the unresponsive of the screen.. you can try it if you want.

Google Maps Update

Hi Gurus,

Looks like google maps only works in the "stock" version (outdated) of my Crown.

Everytime I install an update, I get FC after launching google maps. I tried also to delete cache and data from the app, but I still get FCs.

Instead, after deleting the updates, google maps works again...

Does anybody have a similar issue?

thanks a lot!

Goll
[Android General] davidf9:
Same for me.. I haven't updated for several months. I was planning to update to latest level in hope it had changed - probably won't bother now!
[Android General] rambojambo21:

New update - crown_D1_H1_Blackview_V1.0_20150302

New update yesterday via wifi - crown_D1_H1_Blackview_V1.0_20150302 ;)

Donnload it on Blackview site.

:confused:

I have a problem (in all versions) with SIM 2. The network falls 2 or 3 times a day, and the only way to get it back is to reinitialize the phone.

It blocks both SIM1 and SIM2, the symbols stays with a red cross both.

If i use only SIM1, there is no problem.

Is there any solution? Is it hardware or software bug/problem?
[Android General] Stripu:
Great news! It seems it might just be a factory issue when the screens got ovened :P

Anyway, glad it worked for you as well!

On the update matter, i also got the OTA notification, downloaded the update, but it won't go further. I guess I'll just flash CWM and update it from there. I'll post back if i notice any improvements.
[Android General] phonepete:
if ota failed, flashing by twrp recovery may fail too, try to flash stock recovery first
[Android General] rambojambo21:
Try connecting it to MTK Droid tools and see if it has an imei.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Wireless update worked great with TWRP, also this update has finally fixed the google maps crash issue.
[Android General] Stripu:
In the end I went and flashed mine from scratch with the latest version.

I can also confirm no more FC's in the latest version of Google Maps. They also added some software: Blackview Xender (for sending files between android and iphone).

Nothing else different at first glance.

Root latest firmware

Hi,

I don't know for You, but I've got some troubles rooting the latest firmware 20150302.

Usually I've used KingoRoot but this time the only one that worked for me is IROOT.

Hope it helps.
[Android General] phonepete:
flash twrp recovery (needrom), get supersu.zip (not apk) , copy to phone,

boot twrp and install supersu.zip > root after reboot

for titanium and supersu: start supersu, go to supersu settings, disable "mount namespace separation" and reboot
[Android General] aerobomb:
i have a rooted blackview and i can't update via OTA. does anyone have CMW upgrade file?
[Android General] phonepete:
try to flash stock recovery, update ota and reflash your cwm recovery, you may install supersu.zip by recovery to get root again

or flash complete version 20150302 , save and restore your apps by titanium backup

for titanium and supersu: start supersu, go to supersu settings, disable "mount namespace separation" and reboot
[Android General] rambojambo21:
This rooted it straight away - http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
[Android General] phonepete:
see post #281

there is no need for any root program like root genius , kingoroot ...

flash twrp and supersu will root the phone (you may replace stock recovery by twrp recovery before flashing the new rom, but remove checksum.ini)

and you have got touch recovery to take a full backup/restore
[Android General] rambojambo21:
Anyone else noticing big battery drain on latest update?
[Android General] keraunos:
Yes,me
[Android General] Peter081972:
Me, unfortunatly. Big battery drain :(
[Android General] petzim22:
on the contrary , for me the Accu lasts much longer
[Android General] phonepete:
for me too, better accu life, but also no drain with old firmware;

try battery doctor or autostarts app to block autostart of not important apps,

on the other hand, some users reported battery life problems with old firwmwares too, could be a hardware problem ?

for accu drain do short test:

flash new rom (you may flash also twrp recovery and install supersu.zip for root)

even using wlan and gps (inhouse no stellites) after 6h there is about 94% left for battery,

so there is no app in crown rom that is responsible for accu drain,

check your private apps !!!
[Android General] xdaphillee:
i get a flash error when just flashing the recovery

my rom is the crown_D1_H1_Blackview_V1.0_20150302-

i got from the blackview.hk site

had to reflash the original recovery

picture attached
[Android General] phonepete:
make shure to delete or rename checksum.ini if twrp is in the rom folder

or create new folder with recovery (twrp) and copy scatter.txt only, than flash from new folder
[Android General] keraunos:
How can we fix gps problem?Is there any way the gps program to use mtk ygps to find and lock satellite because I realize that from mtk engineering mode when I use ygps it didn't loose the signal,but when I changed to igo and ygps in backround igo loose the signal and when I turn to ygps lock again after 10 second.
[Android General] aerobomb:
my gps locks in 10 seconds.. I'm using the latest firmware. upgrade seems to be cool.. no bugs encountered yet.
[Android General] keraunos:
What software do you use for gps?
[Android General] aerobomb:
I did not use any software for GPS . i only use Google Maps to check my location and how fast it locks to my current position.

I wish someone can build a custom kernel for Blackview Crown. =)
[Android General] keraunos:
I use IGO ,HERE,SYGIC,BEONROAD.Non of them are stable.They loose the signal very easy.The only solution i understant is that the software must use YGPS from mtk engeneering mode to lock the satelites.
[Android General] dcima:
Bad news

I've got exactly the same trouble: damned pocket!

After asking Everbuying, I shipped the phone to their europen lab located here:

M.B.B. Logistics Sp. z o.o.

PS:200009 Jinming Chang

Triftweg 4

15234 Frankfurt/oder Germany

But after 3 months I've got nothing back ...

After contact the support center they sell me another Crown for half the price ...

If you leave near Frankfurt you've got some more chances to get your phone repaired.

Good luck!

does anyone tried to use a custom rom for BV crown?

Do you find one?
[Android General] aerobomb:
only this one...

[Android General] Konrad70:
Ah ok i know this.... but i don't like miui very much.
[Android General] tribual:
Hi!

You can test this rom for crown:

https://mega.co.nz/#!yp5FzADL!k-8MBGEdt9gF20bErexJ2cmMRPOYy3iljce70brwgFY

Haven't tested it so i can't say if it works. It's Salamander Rom from X8.

Test and tell me any problems. [emoji12]
[Android General] Konrad70:
Do you have any description page or discussion for this rom?
[Android General] tribual:
Yes, rom is from there:

http://tfandroid.es/

Have it running on my ZOPO ZP998 and it's the best rom i've ever had.
[Android General] Konrad70:
Thanks, i tried it, unfortunately phone doesn't even start....black screen....i made all wipes but nothing.
[Android General] megthebest:
i make some tuning on the last Ota.

Root is integrated and TWRP 2.8.1 is also integrated.

Partition resized (8Gb app and 5,2Gb internal memory)

link rom in Flashtool format:

http://www.needrom.com/download/blackview-crown-20150302/

unfortunately also in my sample, touch is not perfect in the lower right part, no luck with build.prop adding lines or sing air blower on the surface..

it seems that touch is non sensible in some circumnstances, expecially during keyboard using (i'm using touchpal/swiftkey and backspace is the worst letter to tap on)..
[Android General] aerobomb:
i think zoppo has a different partition size with blackview. that's why it won't boot.
[Android General] tribual:
Yes, i know.

Here the next Version, maybe it will work. Can't test because don't have the phone.

https://mega.co.nz/#!mppgmB6A!uuQzuv-JVPbjZXDlUxWNjoJT7LJWQTBgDqnz0gNzV0Y

Have ported many rom's for me and family, but this one is one of the hardest. :D

Let me know if it works.

[Android General] ejtun:
Hello megthebest, is it that custom rom better for battery duration.or just some tunings and rooting
[Android General] aerobomb:
i will try tomorrow.thanks for your work! =)

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

i think it's only rooting ang repartition of internal memory so you can install more apps.
[Android General] Konrad70:
Unfortunately this rom doesn't work too. Plus if you try to install you have to restore backup from sp flash tool because kernel is not good and you cannot start in cwm (stripes on display and bootloop).
[Android General] JeanEudeDu93:
Hi, have everyone try this rom ? If yes, does it work good and does it resolve battery problem ?

I'm frech so my english is not perfect, i have a blackview and i can test rom if you want, but i'm so noob to make a rom :')
[Android General] aerobomb:

- Google traduction:

Hello, after have rooted my Crown 20141015 with the Methone of phonepete (#281), the root is ok, I also add the line to restore full access to the external SD card by editing the file "platform.xml" : ok.

Now for several days, I seek an effective way to settle the problem of the external SD card that is master (sdcard0) by default, instead of being in slave from by default (sdcard1) when is inserted in the phone ... .

I watched the video tutorials and to be quite ready of manipulations, which speaks of files or change its 3 "* .fstab" inverting 0 and 1

/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host self vfat defaults voldmanaged = sdcard1: EMMC @ fat, noemulatedsd

/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host self vfat defaults voldmanaged = sdcard0: auto

However, for me it will give me

but that's not what I want to do. I will not (because for me it is not a clean method and risk of an loopphone if the external sd is removed).

factory_init.rc ?

# create mountpoints

mkdir /mnt 0775 root system

#mkdir /mnt/sdcard 0000 system system

#mkdir /mnt/sdcard2 0000 system system

mkdir /storage 0055 system sdcard_r

mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0000 system system

mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0000 system system

#mkdir /mnt/cd-rom 0000 system system

# for backwards compatibility

symlink /storage/sdcard0 /sdcard

symlink /storage/sdcard0 /mnt/sdcard

symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2

would you have a solution to solve the problem, for that internal memory (sdcard0) remains 0 when the external sd card is insert, please?

- French version:

Bonjour, après avoir rooter mon Crown en 20141015 avec la methone de phonepete

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59385740&postcount=281), le root est ok, j'ai egalement rajouter la ligne pour rétablir le plein accès à la carte SD externe en éditant le ficher "platform.xml" (http://technofaq.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/perms-576x1024.jpg): ok.

Maintenant depuis plusieurs jours, je cherche un moyen efficace de regler le probleme de la carte SD externe qui est en maitre (sdcard0) par defaut, au lieu d'etre en escalve par default (sdcard1) quand elle inseré dans le telephone....

j'ai beaucoup regarder les tuto et video, pour etre bien sure des manipulations, qui parle de modifer les 3 fichiers "*.fstab" en inversant 0 et 1

/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host auto vfat defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:emmc@fat,noemulatedsd

/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host auto vfat defaults voldmanaged=sdcard0:auto

cependant pour moi cela me donnera (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...AAAAAAV4/N9La3QSfcp4/s2560/1410877734389.jpeg) mais ce n'est pas ce que je veut faire donc je ne les pas fait ( car pour moi ce n'est pas une methode propre et qui risque de faire un loopphone si la external et retirer). auriez vous une solution pour resoudre se probleme afin que la memoire interne (sdcard0), reste en 0 quand on insert la carte sd externe svp?

[Android General] Rovers82517:
Hi guys, I've rooted Samsung, HTC and Sony Xperia devices some with a pc and some without. I no longer have a pc or access to one. I have read all 32 pages on the forum and have just a few questions -

1, assuming my phone won't come with latest software update should I update it? I'm unclear on what issues have and have not been fixed.

2. I need to root through an app or recovery as I have no pc, I saw iRoot mentioned, is this the apk or pc version?

3. I aim to use a Vodafone and a Three UK sim together at the same time, I've never owned a dual sim phone, will both receive messages and calls ok?

5. Baring in mind I have no pc, what should I avoid trying?

I will be using a hair dryer on the bottom half of screen from the moment it arrives next week lol

Thanks in advance guys. :)
[Android General] aerobomb:
i won't recommend this unit.. how about buying an Asus zen2? it's much better unit than blackview crown.

anyways, yes, you root the phone using iroot or other rooting apps.

the screen is not so responsive. it looks like it is not calibrated well.
[Android General] Rovers82517:
It was £50 on ebay brand new with a 16gb sd card thrown in with the case, so can't get much cheaper than that. Thanks for your reply :)
[Android General] Rovers82517:
After nearly 3 days testing I can report no issues with the screen, anywhere on screen, the resolution is much better than I expected. The battery life is good for a phone with these specs and screen size. I rooted it with KingoRoot as no other app would work. The sound is good for phone calls and although the headphones that came with it were very poor with my good pair the sound for mp3's is also very good. As well as coming with a 16gb sd card i can easily say I'd recommend this phone to anybody. Currently £90 on eBay and Amazon I can't believe I found a brand new one for £50. Maybe I got lucky both with the price and phone quality... Very impressed, best phone I've owned and I've owned a fair few smartphones ;)

New update?

Anyone tried the new update? I received a notification by fota:

Version number：G807_D1_H1_Blackview_V1.0_20150713

Version size：7.41 MB

Release date：2015-07-13

1.Optimize some functions of system

2.Fix some bugs

Can't try it yet as i'm on twrp, not stock recovery.
[Android General] Rovers82517:
I haven't and wasn't aware there is an update, normally i really play around with my phones once they're rooted but as this came from china sending it back if something went wrong could prove difficult, so apart from installing xposed mods and a new launcher and keyboard im still stock. I would love to try a custom rom, the call record feature mine now has is quite important for me, i wont be updating incase i lose root.
[Android General] phonepete:
make sure to have supersu2.46.zip (or newer from XDA) saved anywhere on the phone

flash stock recovery only (download mode, only recovery checked) from stock rom

do ota update, but root is lost

reflash twrp recovery only (rename checksum.ini to checksum.old)

boot into twrp (hold vol+ and power on)

flash supersu.zip to get root again, you will get all root permissions by supersu as before
[Android General] Rovers82517:
The update 7mb, cant be very significant, i still have stock recovery already.. It all seems unnecessary.

Has anyone tried the update? What is different?
[Android General] timhall:
I have installed the Update this morning. After the reboot my phone runs into an Error.

I can switch into the recovery Mode but my volume down Key is broken, so I only can select "reboot Phone".

Then the phone has this Error again: "no Orders" (in German: "Keine Befehle")

Can somebody help me?? :( :confused:

Thank´s

Tim
[Android General] keraunos:
I did the upadate and i see that it drain buttery quickly.
[Android General] Rovers82517:
Without a volume down key Tim I think its screwed, send it back mate, only thing I can think of sorry. Looking like a wise decision not upgrading.

New surveillance laws are being passed by all our governments, this could be part of that, and explain extra battery drain.
[Android General] timhall:
I got a Crown with a broken Screen - so I put my Screen into the other one an then I hope I´ve got a new Phone^^

Do you really think that the battery drain is with the new surveillance laws related ?
[Android General] Rovers82517:
It's a possibility, i dont know exactly what the new laws allow, but they may allow direct access to a phone to bypass encryption by viewing something directly, whatsapp for instance, it could be snuck in in a small update, say around 7mb, something must cause extra battery drain. I'm just speculating, but its a possibility.
