Cheers for replay.

I have read in htcmania that one user use foldermount to solve the problem with the memory, because the phone has 4 GB but 2 GB it use like a emule sdcard, with that is not necessary use a external sdcard but you lost 2 GB. In my xiaomi Mi Pad 16GB I had the similiar problem and I solved with SDFix and for the bigger games I use Link2sD, but only with SDFix was enough.

The user in htcmania say that he solve with foldermount to link the folder from 2GB partition sdcard with the external folder to external sdcard. Here is one link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192122,

Have anyone tried it ? or SDFix I think is easier .

Is a shame because the phone has a great hadware for this price but software and scene is rubbish.

I´m between this phone and xiaomi red 1s, I know that xiaomi has a good support and a nice room but luck 4g, and the battery is worst, really i don´t know what to do ... are you happy with this movil the gps and 4G works fine?

I think that could be easy port any rom from xiaomi red 1s or cyanogemod from the same phone seems very similiar, I can ask in miui forums they port roms for other device and help you if you want do it.

So sorry I replay other thread wiht similar info.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyWhy:
With the stock ROM I had about 600mb of free space. After flashing MIUI I had about 2gb of free space. The amount of bloatware on the stockrom is ridiculous.

Before I flashed MIUI I managed to get 1gb of free space by uninstalling all the bloatware with Link2SD but I still couldn't touch the amount of free space I'm getting with MIUI, it must be badly optimized or something.

I enabled root on MIUI and I installed Link2SD to convert a few of the system apps like Xiaomi market to a user app so I could delete it as I don't use it.

I had a look around and from what I can tell we need a phone with the same display size, resolution and cpu - which is 5", 720p and a Snapdragon 400 respectively and the only one is the 2014 Moto G. That's where I'd start I'd you had your heart set on Cyanogen Mod.

To be honest I'm perfectly happy with MIUI and I think I'm going to flash it on my main device, which is the LG G2 I'm writing on right now ?

I'd definitely recommend getting it, the Xiaomi Red S1 has a smaller screen, lack of 4G and capacative buttons which is why I chose the Infocus M512 over it in the first place ?

Thanks!

Galaxy, just wanted to say thanks for posting this thread and linking to this information. It has been very, very helpful.

I recently bought an M512, my first Android phone after many iPhones, so I am still working along the learning curve. Now that I think I have the hang of flashing roms, I hope to give the MIUI a try and see how I like it. :D

GPS is not currently working for me. I tried flashing the 1080 stock rom, and then the root update from Needrom, but still can't get a lock-on. I'm hoping maybe if I re-flash the stock rom and then install the MIUI, maybe it might work? Hoping.

Thanks again! :good:
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyWhy:
Good to hear! You'll probably love MIUI as its influenced heavily by iOS.

Yeah try re-flashing the ROM and also make sure you go into recovery mode (volume up + power) and factory reset/dalvik wipe afterwards. This should get everything running smoothly.

I also used this app to test if I was picking up satellites: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.gpslock

[General Questions and Answers] flippy.nl:
i found out that the GLONASS does not work under any ROM.

this is not due to the phone but it appears to be a bug in kitkat or at least the base ROM they all use.

you can see for yourself, when using a GPS program that shows you the sattelite numbers you will see that the numbers between 65 and 96 are visible but there is no signal strength or lock coming from them.

Hmm I'll have to try it out. I'll report back

[General Questions and Answers] Matrey_Moxley:
Thanks for the suggestions. I did successfully install MIUI and I quite like it. Very nice and slick, quite like iOS.

Unfortunately GPS is still an issue. I have been using GPS Test and tried GPS Lock as well, but both behave about the same. They list a number of satellites but I can't get signals from them almost every time. Once or twice when I have waited 20-30 minutes it has suddenly got orange to yellow weak signals from two sats, but they don't last and I don't get a fix.

I am going to try again to flash the 1080 rom and do the full resets and try again. But I am a noob and can't seem to get the loader to come up again (power on holding volume up, right?). I got it to work before but must be doing something wrong this time. :confused:

Edit: Actually, I see in your other post you had a similar problem and there should be a way to get the device to the loader screen using fastboot, so I will give that a try when I get the chance.
[General Questions and Answers] flippy.nl:
you need the update to update the firmware so miui can use it. so load the update i posted at page 6 and the muiu rom and you are pretty much set. only the mighty annoying manual 4G activation is the real bug, and not getting GLANOSS lock but that is relevant for all roms.
[General Questions and Answers] Matrey_Moxley:
Thanks. I applied the firmware update before, but followed it with the rooted rom, and added Miui later on. Going to try re-applying the firmware update and then straight to Miui and see if that makes a difference. But first need to figure out how to apply the firmware via adb and fastboot, since power-on holding volume up doesn't seem to be working for me.

Cheers.

Instructions for n00bs how to root and Link2SD instructions

Gday all - been leeching your knowledge on this for a week now :)

I'm another user in Aus who has picked up this phone and am really impressed with it (well, apart from the 4GB internal storage).

I've put together the idiots guide for all the steps you've listed on my Man Vs Network blog.

My last hurdle with this thing is getting Link2SD to work.

Tried it with ext2 and no dice.

Quick update - 2 * EXT4 Parttions Works!!!

Alternate Launcher

Gday all.

Just a quick note - If you're staying on the stock ROM and have root, Titanium Backup made quick work of uninstalling the following apps:

* AppControl

* TrafficControl

* Launcher+

* Extra crap the root version of the ROM installed (Battery Minder, Performance Booster etc.)

* InFocus customer feedback

I really didn't like the iphone-ish all icons spread across multiple home pages thing using Launcher+.

The Google Launcher (which gets installed when you install Google Search Update and Google Now) is way better than anything else and returns it to a stock nexus-like interface.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyWhy:

Thanks, I got it figured out. (Eventually.)

Unfortunately, even after applying the firmware update zip and then re-installing the MIUI, the GPS is still not working. I'm currently not sure what else to try. If there were an image of the base system as it was when shipped, I'd like to try reverting to that and trying again...

Woot, that would be extremely helpful! Does anyone know the proper way to save a stock image to a .zip or .img file? I'm a noob and haven't got that figured out yet.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Will do! Although I thought you said earlier in this thread you had got GPS working? ;)

I saw something similar, I think. GPS Test would bring up a list of visible satellites, which I think it was retrieving via A-GPS lookup. But then it would not give any signal from any of them. Once or twice if I let it just sit there for 20 or 30 minutes, it would show a weak signal from one or two satellites, but not enough to get a fix. And then it would lose the signals from them in a minute or so.

I don't know if this makes it more likely an issue with the rom or firmware, or if it might be faulty hardware. :confused:

Good morning, I have rooted the M512 (following the tuto at the beginning) for my son with the objective to link the SD card of 64Go in order for him to install more games and softwares. So I did a partition of 6Go ext4 and the remaining in FAT32. So I tried to used Link2SD but it does not allow to mount this SD as internal. I am trying to use External 2 Internal apps but this very simple and I do not know which path to put for the M512. Is there anybody that know how to solve this issue ? I would like to subsitute the internal emulated SD card but the real SD card formated in ext4.

Then, did you find a way to solve the problem with the GPS ?

An idea about the upgrade of inFocus M512

What I’ve done! (At your own risk)

Please note that after update I couldn’t run Google play services but Google map works well. . I lost it and it was impossible to me to fix the error ‘Unfortunately Google Play Services Has Stopped’ even by installing Google Play Services 6.1.83 (1532979-036)

I receive the phone evry things are well but …. the update didn’t work. I always had an error which is:

hidden/data/CDA/100CN/CDA/setting.xml has unspected contents

E:Error in/data/media/0/update.zip (status7).

I downloaded this file ‘MC2-1080-0-15CN-A02-update’ by looking for it in the web pages, Because even if you ask to translate Chinese in English at the official site you‘ll never reach it. (Good Luck).

Once I had it, I put it in my internal ROM zipped (I didn’t unzip file) and I did the following:

1-Settings/storage/

2-In the top Right of the screen, I touch ‘|’ and I choose USB Computer Connection

3-I Check MTP Box option

4-I choose the ‘MC2-1080-0-15CN-A02-update’ file uploaded

5-I Called the phone number ‘*#*#874#*#*

6-I uncheck the left right Choice (I don’t know what it is because it don’t understand Chinese language)

7-And I Choose the right choice.

I didn’t touch anything until the phone had update, and completely rebooted.

I had the latest upgrade but the phone still un-rooted. I verify that with CPU-Z.

I still was looking for how to root phone.

Can you root the device without applying any images, maybe by using some of the techniques listed in this URL? Then maybe you could dump the ROM with only that difference from stock.

Nand Backup for Rooted M512?

I guess I was lucky - sort of - that my Infocus M512 arrived fully rooted (from Chinavasion), with SuperSU already installed. On the other hand, the security tape on the box was broken and didn't even match up, so the history of this phone is questionable - perhaps a refurb. However, I also feel somewhat grateful because everything works and, reading the xda posts, I can feel the pain people have had getting their phones rooted and working smoothly.

I'm pretty much happy with the way it's set up. Just one last thing... How do I make a complete backup?!

I've got Busybox installed, as well as Online Nandroid, but the latter requires a device-specific patch. It identifies the phone as a 'MC2_CN', which is not in the downloaded list of devices. I've requested a patch from the author (clicking on 'get identified'), but I feel like I've just sent a letter to Santa Claus.

Has anyone here successfully done a complete backup of their rooted M512 - Nandroid or otherwise?

How to Use External SD

Hello,

I used all the means and that's what good and safe and that works really well.

1-Reset phone

2-Install Xposed and follow the instructions

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

Choose for "Xposed" the following modules:

XinternalSD http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.xinternalsd and SMART BOOSTER http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.rootuninstaller.rambooster

3- DISABLED Clean Master !!! (Isn't so important if you're sure that you lunch Xposed at boot)

4- Install Free BUSY BOX

Restart the phone

And Internal Memory Card will be replaced by the External SD card.

Best Regards,

:o

Take Care!

On the phone both continue to exist internal and external, but the programs and data will be automatically redirected to the SD card. (SD card will be by default – You don’t need to Move or to do something else).

Just do what I’ve write and nothing else.

Under ART engine you don't need Busybox free. Busybox free is for dalvik engine.

City Names / Locations file?

Hi again all - I recently reinstalled the MIUI on my phone and playing with it in more detail to see if it is something I want to stick with. It is good so far.

I noticed that in the Clock application, if you click "Add Clock" all the available locations are listed in Russian. (I'm guessing, anyways.) I'm assuming this was changed by the person/team who did the port - is there a way to change this back to the stock list of available locations? I would like to get English location names, so I hope there's a way to change this list.
[General Questions and Answers] flippy.nl:
all right, condensed post for a one stop shop to upgrade the M512 to the latest firmware (2260) AND root with gapps and the files are based on a actual fast server (mine)

first get this: original 2260 rom

then this: root

and finally: gapps

to get this on the phone:

install the rom first like usual: personal favourite is putting zip on sd card and use the "adb reboot recovery" command and install the zip from recovery.

rebbot and do basic setup (for wifi) as needed.

to get root: connect usb! press volume + and - AND power and HOLD, after 10 sec the phone will turn off/reboot twice, the second time the blue led will turn off, release the power button but keep holding both volume keys. you will get black screen and simple info like imei number.

now use the root.bat to actually root the phone. it will take about 20 seconds. check the screen for any errors, any error will basically fail the root.

install gapps the same way as root.

congrats, you now have a M512 that has a actual working gps, proper data connections and gapps. if you want to check the glonass sat's: watch for sat numbers above 64, those are glonass.
